RENTAL CONTRACT

CONDITIONS

  1. The rented car, accessories and extras are handed over to the lessee under perfect technical conditions and appearance, and must be returned to the lessor at the end of this contract in the same perfect condition it was received in.
  2. The hire period of complete days will end, independently of the time the car was hired, at the time stated on the first page of this contract marked "expected return".
  3. Advanced cancellation or extension of this contract must be requested by the lessee with at least 24 hours notice. Failure to comply with this condition by the lessee will entitle the lessor to charge the complete price of the contract, and any delay in handing over the car will be charged with 50% increase on the established rental price.
    Regarding the previous paragraph, it must be made clear that any insurance taken by the lessee not included in the set price, will end at the time stated in the contract, except in the case of an extension which must be by mutual written agreement.
  4. Besides normal use of the car, the lessee shall have the right on behalf of the lessor to maintenance service of the car or substitution in case of mechanical damage not attributable to the lessee and needing more than two hours time for repairs. The lessee will also have the right to have the car delivered and picked up at no additional charge, within five kms. of the office where it was hired.
  5. The following is strictly forbidden:

    a) Driving the car by any other than the lessee or his designee without the proper authorisation by the lessor and under full responsibility of the lessee.

    b) Subletting the car or transporting people against payment.

    c) Transporting more than the maximum allowed number of passengers.

    d) Overloading the car, transporting animals, combustible, explosive, bad smelling or dangerous materials.

    e) The use of the car in races, speed trials or competitions, or to push or tow other vehicles or trailers.

    f) Driving the car away from roads or highways commonly used by cars of this type.

    g) Driving the car in a dangerous or careless manner, under the influence of any substance or illness, which might impair the driver's physical or psychological state or his reflexes.

    h) Removing the car from the island or mainland territory where the contract was signed, without express written permission by the lessor.

    i) Leaving any object on view in the car in a public place, which could lead to subsequent breaking or forcing of doors or windows, and robbery.
  6. The price includes compulsory insurance, and unlimited coverage towards third parties, as well as robbery and fire coverage in cases not directly attributable to the lessee. Bicycles are expressly excluded from mentioned coverage.
  7. All damages or harm which might occur to or be caused by the rented car and which are not covered by the insurance included in the rental price, and further which cannot clearly be attributed to the responsibility of a determined person will be charged to the lessee's account.
  8. In order to cover all or part of the afore mentioned responsibility of the lessee and any personal harm to the occupants of the car, the lessee may contract various types of insurance under the conditions previously offered. The agreement to this insurance will be stated in the corresponding place on the first page of this contract.
    Notwithstanding the type of insurance signed by the parties, the lessor reserves himself the right to request a previous deposit from the lessee, the amount of which will be determined according to the case, and/or to establish on the contracted insurance the franchise thought fit by him.
    The insurance signed for will cover the responsibility included in it, under the condition that the lessee does not infringe the expressly established points under condition 5 of this contract, and that he requests the assistance of the Police to testify and write the corresponding report, depending on whether there are third parties involved. In any event, the insurance signed for is understood to cover responsibility after the franchise established on the first page of this contract. Loss of keys and any damage caused to the interior of the vehicle are not covered by the insurance policies.
  9. Any responsibility of an economic nature deriving from this contract to the lessee's expense, whichever its cause, will bear 20% yearly interest beginning from the date it can be requested by the lessor and not from the day it is actually requested.
  10. In case of any conflicts regarding the interpretation or non-compliance of the conditions of this contract, the parties waiver their own jurisdiction and submit themselves expressly to the Courts and Tribunals of the place where the contract was signed.
  11. The lessor is expressly exempt from any liability arising from improper us of the hired car and particularly for any breach of article 5 of the contract.
